The festive season is well and truly here, and while gifts and gatherings often steal the spotlight, your Christmas table deserves just as much attention!
A styled table sets the tone for memorable celebrations, so we’ve rounded up five must-have ranges from nood to make your holiday table effortless and stylish, with pieces that will look great not just this silly season, but for year-round hosting.
1. A sprinkle of colourful glassware this Christmas season, for good measure
Nothing says summer fun like vibrant glassware. The Allegra Glass Bowls and Vitti Stemless Glasses bring a pop of colour and a touch of elegance to your table without being the traditional Christmas glassware reserved for festive times. The glasses will become your go-to for everything - from raising a toast to sipping cocktails in the sun.
The small bowls are perfectly sized: serve up a scoop of ice cream or layer them across the table to give your snacks a little personality.
We love that these pieces are handcrafted, meaning no two are identical adding a unique, artisanal touch to your holiday table.
2. Wooden boards & accessories add warmth
Wooden boards and accessories are the ultimate way to bring warmth and a natural touch to your festive table. The Curve Grinder, Angelica Platter, Inge Range, and Sardie Platter are just a few timeless pieces that not only look beautiful but work hard for your hosting needs.
Use them to serve sides, or create an impressive charcuterie spread. Their rich tones pair perfectly with colourful glassware and soft linens, creating a layered look that feels curated and inviting.
You'll quickly find each of these pieces will become a staple you’ll reach for long after the silly season is over.
3. Don’t Snooze on Placemats (and Napkins Too!)
Placemats are the unsung heroes of a Christmas table setting - they frame the look, protect your surfaces, and add instant personality. We love the Dippi, Petra, and Flower Placemats for their mix of texture and colour, perfect for creating a layered, curated look that feels relaxed and stylish. Similar to our glassware range, you can shop individually and mix and match to achieve a colourful look.
Add Marimekko Napkins for a simple finishing touch. They’re an easy way to introduce colour and print without overwhelming your setting, and they pair beautifully with glassware and wooden boards for a balanced, thoughtful look that your guests will remember.
4. A selection of short vases
Florals are the easiest way to bring life to your table, and short vases are perfect for creating arrangements that don’t block conversation. We’re loving the Ball Vase, Velton Glass Vase, and Jiro Glass Vase - each designed with a lower profile that feels modern and practical.
Style them solo for a simple, elegant look, or group multiple vases at different heights for a statement centerpiece that feels curated and dynamic. These vases work beautifully with fresh blooms, but you can also experiment with dried flowers or foraged branches for a relaxed, seasonal touch that creates an interesting talking point.
5. The Mini Fleur Dish range
Small but mighty, the Fleur Dish Range is perfect for those finishing touches that make a table feel complete. They come in a variety of petite sizes, making them ideal for serving condiments, dips, or even a handful of festive sweet treats.
Scatter them across the Christmas day table for a layered look, or keep them grouped for a more minimal aesthetic. Their compact design means they’re practical for everyday use, but stylish enough to earn a permanent spot on display.
Their uses aren’t just limited to the table, either. They make great trinket dishes for keeping your everyday jewellery in a safe spot. And the footed bowl? It’s the sweetest way to gift a homemade treat - beautiful and thoughtful all in one.
With these pieces on hand, you’ll have a table that feels effortless, stylish, and ready for any celebration – not only this season but beyond.
